FIDE vs Animal
Why ignoring the name that some of these moves have already for a large number of CV, like Kirin for FD and Phoenix for WA; and why ignoring that several of these names of piece are associated with different moves, like Elephant for FA (and several others, but not yours), Hawk for ADGH, Frog for FH, Kangaroo for NA (see Piececlopedia for some of them)?
I can understand when the author wants to fit with a given thematic but I don't think it is the case here. So, I don't see the added value of confusing people with different names and moves than what they are used to. Or I'm missing something important.
The Elephant and Hawk here are definitely interesting pieces, but I concur with Jean-Louis about the names. At the very least, put an adjective on those two; and let the Kirin and Phoenix be what they are traditionally, or (if, as I suspect, those names don't fit your theme) give them fresh names like Monitor and Oriole.

Same critic, superbly ignoring what others have done. No discussion is possible. No dialog. Maybe an AI is posting those, I don't know.
I'm agreeing (mostly) with Jean-Louis. These are simple pieces that have their own names in the community, and names that have other moves. Either adjust to fit, or give an explanation as to why it's different.
This is my experimental page, don't take it too seriously... the game I posted are not made for the public share, please don't notice us.
I think I worded my last criticism rather more harshly than I should have, or meant to. These two do look interesting; it'd be just easier to follow if established name/move combinations were respected.
No problem :) the point is that these games were designed just for myself, honestly I don't care about renaming the pieces and moves in line with piececloedia precisely because they are private games just for me.
The fact is that your games are very interesting, otherwise we wouldn't react.
If they were just for you, I wonder why you are publishing them here where they are seen publicly. My modest advise is that they would be even more attractive if names and moves would be more in respect of the habits of chessvariant lovers and players who follow these pages. Otherwise, by ignoring all this, you are involutarinly increasing the confusion which is already a plague for our common passion.
Of course you are the author and are free to do what you want.
I will not bother you again.
